Wed, 20 January 2010 Jay Rinsen Weik leads a retreat workshop at the Toledo Zen Center on January 25, 2009. On the fifth day after the rise of spring, Everywhere the season's gracious attitudes! The white sun gradually lengthening its course; The blue-gray clouds hanging as though they would fall. The last icicle breaking into splinters of jade; The new stems marshalling red sprouts. The things I meet are full of gladness: It is not only I who love the spring. To welcome the flowers, I stand in the back garden; To enjoy the sunlight, I sit under the front eaves. Yet still in my heart, there lingers one regret: Soon I shall part with the flame of my red stove! --Po Chu'i For more information about the Toledo Zen Center, please visit toledozen.org.

Wed, 13 January 2010 Jay Rinsen Weik leads a retreat workshop at the Toledo Zen Center on January 25, 2009. "For restful thoughts, one does not need space; The room where I lie is 10 foot square. By the western eaves, above the bamboo twigs, From my couch, I can see the white mountain rise. But the clouds that hover on its far distant peak Bring shame to a face that is buried in the world's dust." --Po Chu'i For more information about the Toledo Zen Center, please visit toledozen.org.

Wed, 6 January 2010 Jay Rinsen Weik leads a retreat workshop at the Toledo Zen Center on January 25, 2009. "It's said that [Po Chu'i] would read every one of his poems to an uneducated person... but he would make sure that it made sense to people, that at least it was comprehensible in some way. He held to a Confucian ideal that said that poetry is, at some level or other, to educate... not simply just for idle entertainment."

Mon, 30 November 2009 Jay Rinsen Weik gives a talk at a Zazenkai with the Toledo Zen Center, held at Lourdes College on December 13, 2008. "I talked in the opening comments about meticulous clarity, meticulous effort, precise practice. This is a very, very important part of our training, of our Way. There's a kind of precision that's being asked for, that's being pointed to.... It takes a while to actually find yourself and to be able to sit clearly. And it matters."

Thu, 29 October 2009 Jay Rinsen Weik gives a talk and leads discussion at the Toledo Zen Center on December 3, 2008. "The Supreme Way is not difficult; it just precludes picking and choosing. Without yearning or loathing, The Way is perfectly apparent, while even a hair's breadth difference separates heaven and earth. To see The Way with your own eyes, quit agreeing and disagreeing. The battle of likes and dislikes is the disease of the mind." --Seng-ts'an, "Relying on Mind" For more information about the Toledo Zen Center, please visit toledozen.org. Comments[0] |
Fri, 16 October 2009 Jay Rinsen Weik gives a talk and leads discussion at the Toledo Zen Center on November 26, 2008. "The teachings of the Three Vehicles all cure diseases such as greed and hatred. Right now, thought after thought, if you have such sickness as greed or hatred, you should first cure them. Don't seek intellectual understanding of meanings and expressions. Understanding is in the province of desire, and desire turns into disease. Right now, just detach from all things, existent or nonexistent, and even detach from detachment." - Pai Chang For more information about the Toledo Zen Center, please visit toledozen.org.
